Locating the best new car lease deals from month to month is more of an art than a science. In many cases, the best car lease offers have nothing to do with a change in seasons and more to do with the model year of cars which are being replaced with new models. In the last few months we’ve seen some great deals being offered on Acuras, Infinitis and Cadillacs. The end of 2013 did have some reasonable lease specials on newer models like the 2014 Honda Accord LX and the 2014 Honda CR-V. If you couldn’t wait for the new year to lease that new Honda or Toyota, you have nothing to worry about. The newer model Honda’s and Toyota’s are still not ripe for the best lease deals. Among the best car lease deals of January 2014 is nothing new, ground-breaking or earth shattering. On the other hand, there are some good ones. Over 10 cars are rated as excellent or better. Here they are.

Is it any great surprise that Acura continues to dominate or remain near the top of the lease ratings from month to month? The 36 month lease on the TL and TSX yield a low, 1.00% Lease Value Ratio for both cars. With $2,499 down, you can lease a TSX for just $279.00 a month or a TL for $309.00 a month. And, there are no quirky odd-month lease terms which might put you at risk for paying a 2nd tax and registration fee for your state. The 36 month lease term is the best one there is and for the month of January, the Acura TSX and TL top the list for best overall lease values.

Also, near the top is the Infiniti G37 AWD drive which can be leased for a mere $299.00 a month with $3,499 down. This gives you an average payment of about $381.05; not bad for a luxury AWD sedan!
